Recap
Hallby are enduring a difficult start to the season, sitting bottom of the standings with just one point from six matches (0-1-5). Their defensive struggles have been particularly concerning, having conceded 188 goals at an average of more than 31 per game. Following their 27-36 defeat to Sävehof five days ago, the situation has become even more complicated, with the club facing a significant number of absences.
Helsingborg have benefited from a considerably longer preparation and recovery period, having last played in the league on October 15, when they drew 29-29 with Skövde. Home advantage is another important factor, as Helsingborg remain unbeaten on their own court this season (1-2-0). They have also won their last two home meetings with Hallby, by 39-32 and 28-23.
With home advantage and a more favorable preparation period, the hosts have a good opportunity to claim victory against the league’s bottom-placed team.
